Christmas DEADLINE spells death knell of Covid: Yuletide Liveline

generalgerry

Was it a Tuesday at the post office?

sligojoek

He's 11 Joe, not 10

gmisk

In fairness Caleb is unfailingly polite

PsychoPete

A very mannerly young lad

sligojoek

D'ya here me?

sligojoek

Joe after getting Caleb's hopes up. Gonna have to follow through now.

bottlebrush

He was 10 the day the researchers phoned him to line him up for today

sligojoek

I'm out. Have a great Christmas folks.

Listening to a genuine and real child who is trying to express actual excitement about something when the insincere blather comes through and the thinly-veiled oldschool racist humming and hawwwing. Joe is now telling him that he's going to help him organise a huge festival for people from Africa.

BATHALONA what the hell like, how is this man allowed to be broadcast. Now the child is questioning his pronunciation of his team's name.

generalgerry

Getting sarky with the kid.

gmisk

Ballyer-lona?

generalgerry

Jack McCarthy. Joe is as well up on the sports as Shane Ross.

PsychoPete

Caleb, don't be asking Joe questions

Flukey

" I remember Jack McCarthy".

So well, that he can't even get his name right.

Roger_007

I’d guess Caleb has a yummy mummy?

gmisk

Caleb was lovely in fairness very cheery and positive young fella, his folks should be proud of him.

School around the corner,
On liveline.

Joe has an unhealthy interest in children!

If he's the child of an RTÉ staff member, they provisionally signed him up for the call at the maternity hospital.

gmisk

Do da cats be licking themselves in an appropriate way so to speak?

generalgerry

Ryan Tubridy will be ringing the union.

Tpcl20

All the children have the same regional accents, how could something like that happen?

Mena Mitty

Joe wanting to know about the children in his teacher daughter's class.

I'm out....this is too weird for me.

Tpcl20

"An aoooful lot of characters"

Yeah that's always a complaint I have when I'm reading a buke.

Flukey

"Have you a granny or two grannies?" Joe asked, hoping that at least one was dead.

Tpcl20

His granny is very young apparently???

gmisk

One of nephew's did school plays online.
Each year did a different Christmas movie.
They did home alone, it was as funny, you could also skip the random hymns.

bottlebrush

Have we heard anyone from outside the pale yet?

TheHomeService

Duffy doing this is like letting a monkey play with dynamite.

gmisk

Under the hawthorn tree is misery....Joe would love it

Roger_007

She sound like she’s reading something that someone else wrote for her?

Or anyone not from bleedin Montrose.

Whoever invented Stage Schools for pre-teens has a lot to answer for!

Probably why there's a very noticeable two second delay, just in case they have to take the nuclear option.

They are not taking kids whose parents work in Montrose, just the regional studios.

Flukey

Cuthbert Cringeworthy. Any relation Joe?

gmisk

Tim Traveller....pavee point on line 2...

TheHomeService

The T word.

Tpcl20

Tim Traveller left the Beano because they booted him out to be replaced by another character. Obviously blatant discrimination by that heinous Tan publication.

Tpcl20

God from Blackrock in Dublin, you're kidding. And this next one from Cavan, where Joe is from. Incredible.

Who replaced him, Radu the Roma?

gmisk

This child has been over trained with her pronunciations and drama...kind of painful...give me a genuine kid like Caleb any day...

TheHomeService

When Santa got stuck up her chimbly!

FFS Duffy!

These are kids ffs.

I will never understand the need for grown or middle aged adults to criticise small children in this way. This isn't a mod comment just a personal observation. Obviously Duffy is open to criticism but Jesus.

I wonder if Joe thought this show would be a good idea. I'd say he's having second thoughts now. He will certainly earn his money today.This is heavy going, and not over till 3.

Tpcl20

Very disturbing baby laughter at the ad break. Never thought I'd describe laughter as disturbing, let alone a baby's laughter, but I guess we pay the licence fee to ensure we get only the most original and unique experiences.
